Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome complicated by severe community-acquired pneumonia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus positive for Panton-Valentine leukocidin

We report a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) complicated by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-Panton-Valentine leukocidin positive (CAMRSA-PVL[+]) necrotizing pneumonia, sepsis and multiple organ failure (MOF) in a previously immunocompetent female. The patient required prolonged ventilatory support and intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization. Multiple cavities and severely affected lung function persist 1 year after discharge.
